    Abstract:
    The authors present a case of incomplete spinal cord injury (Brown Sequard syndrome) after a stab wound. A direct history and examination revealed that the patient was stabbed in the back while fighting with his friends. He immediately lost motor and sensory function in the lower extremities and collapsed to the ground. The patient was given primary closure after wound toilet and was treated with antibiotics. With rehabilitation he became ambulatory with a cane and long leg brace two months after the stabbing.
